(Episode 91)
I'm on probation right now.
I hadn't done anything wrong,
but I was arrested,
interviewed by prosecutors,
and tried.
It felt so unfair then,
but in hindsight, I now know
my mistake was not realizing what I'd done wrong.
That is, I wasn't fit to be CEO.
Arrested, interviewed, and tried...
It must have been very hard.
I was at my lowest when I first met you.
I had to fulfill my duties as CEO
but dreaded being in front of people.
So I came up with the idea of a becoming part-timer.
Part-timer Hong Seok?
The testy, proud,
yet troubled guy
was really to my liking.
Will you keep droning on about Hong Seok?
Are you jealous of Hong Seok?
Of course.
No one but Hong Seokpyo from now on,
not even Hong Seok.
You're so annoying.
I have many irons in the fire.
And I'm the only one who can see them through.
They're also things I must do.
What can I do?
Just stay by my side.
That's all I need.
And then you'll make me do all kinds of things.
Ms. Gil.
Go ahead.
There's still a complication,
but I'll let you know when I get a handle on it.
Can't we resolve it together before then?
I need to emotionally sort myself out before that.
Okay. I'll wait.
You have enough on your plate too.
I'm sorry I was inconsiderate
and only talked about myself.
And thank you.
My issue is something very personal.
I haven't sorted myself out emotionally either.
Mr. Hong Seok... I mean, Mr. Hong Seokpyo,
I'll tell you when I feel more comfortable about it.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Leave me alone.
I'm watching something very important.
Come here. Come here and sit.
They've been there for over half an hour.
What are they talking about out there in the dark?
They must have a lot to discuss.
I think I should meet his parents...
Wait. Both his parents have passed away, right?
But I'm sure he has older relatives.
I should meet his older relatives.
What for?
They're so in love,
so the elders should step in to seal the deal.
Leave them be instead of stirring trouble.
Stay out of it until they bring it up first.
Strike while the iron's hot.
Marriage should be discussed when they're in love.
Eunjo's not that young either.
Marriage? This isn't the time for that.
Why isn't it the time?
Where's the Center lad?
He left.
Center lad? Refer to him properly.
Young lad that works at the Center.
Is there a problem?
I suppose there isn't.
- I'm going upstairs. / - Okay.
Hey, Eunjo.
Hey. Leave her alone.
She'll tell us if she has something to say.
But I'm curious.
You couldn't tell me what you wanted to, right?
About your mother and Ms. Kim...
I'm scared our relationship might
fall apart if I learn the truth,
but I'm still going to have faith in our love.
I was planning to tell you about my mom and Ms. Kim,
but alas, I couldn't.
Even if what the second document said was true,
even if Ms. Kim seeks revenge against me,
I'll accept it as I am my mother's son.
How odd.
Where are the braised ribs I made?
This is so weird.
Did Inu take it to her dad?
Why I ought to...
I can't blame her for wanting her dad to eat well.
He's the bane of my existence.
I can't stand him.
We made some at home, and I thought of you.
You must eat well when you're overworked.
What's wrong?
Don't you like braised ribs?
I do. It's my favorite.
That's great.
Go ahead.
I had some at home,
so this is all yours.
Miss Injeong.
I felt bad about the grief my dad and sister
have caused you, Eunjo, and Ms. Kim,
which is why I brought this.
I swear I don't have an ulterior motive.
Okay.
You just started your internship.
You must eat well as you have a long way to go.
Eat up.
It's good.
Of course. My mom's a pretty good cook.
I'll bring you lunch every now and again,
so don't be alarmed.
No, you don't have to do that.
I said I had no ulterior motive.
I swear there's no ulterior motive.
Okay.
I'm happy you like it.
Miss Injeong, I'm off this weekend.
Do you want to go the movies?
What?
I swear there's no ulterior motive,
I just want to repay you for this.
The movies?
There are lots of great new releases.
So we're going to the movies?
No ulterior motive. Just to thank you for this.
Yes, okay.
Oh, so you want to
stay in that backroom?
Let me stay.
It's not being used.
Not being used?
I use it as my break room.
So you can take your breaks there during the day,
and I'll sleep there at night.
That works out.
What do you mean it works out?
How did you end up in this sorry state, professor?
Let's do that.
You ended up here from being executive manager?
You're no better, so don't patronize me.
You had to go where no one should,
so I'll oblige as I'm better off.
You can stay.
There's no place one shouldn't go.
A brief stint at a detention center
teaches a man the harsh realities of life.
Only then can he appreciate life's simple joys.
Oh, I see.
You got yourself locked up
to appreciate life's simple joys.
I detect sarcasm in your tone.
Of course not.
Dad,
what are you doing here?
What do you think?
I can't stay at saunas forever.
So you'll be sleeping here?
Can we talk?
What now?
Come on.
Darn it.
We'll finish talking later.
Geez. She doesn't even say hello to her elder.
Do you plan to stay at the cafe from now on?
Yes.
What about the salon?
What about the bonds?
Are those your bonds?
Why are you pestering me?
I'm desperate.
Not as desperate as I am.
I want to find the bonds and make a comeback.
But to finish my 200 hours of community service,
I'll be stuck here for a while.
You expect me to live like this until then?
What do you want me to do?
Do you have any idea how hard I have it?
Why do you keep asking me about the hidden bonds?
Is that all I remind you of?
I don't know.
You started this,
so you take care of it.
Why is she getting worse?
Does she think I enjoy my sorry state?
Darn it.
They're still looking for the bonds?
Ms. Kim hasn't retrieved them?
She must have.
She submitted that petition,
so she had to have retrieved them.
Why are you so late?
We need to talk.
I'm tired.
Inu.
You're not sick, are you?
What do you mean?
Do you feel tightness in the chest or dizzy?
I'm not sick.
So you're really trying to seduce that guy?
I'm glad you're trying to get over Busik,
but you shouldn't make a pass at just anyone.
There's no rush, so pull yourself together first.
Mom, did you say "just anyone"?
You're doing it just to stick it to Busik.
Why do something foolish at your own expense?
Busik's not worth it.
Just anyone at my own expense?
You're shallow too,
so why criticize me?
What?
You must not know yet.
Then again, you don't know how to use the internet.
What are you talking about?
You're dismissing him because he's a part-timer
doing menial work at the Center.
That's why you said
he was "just anyone" who'd cost me.
But that's because...
He's the son of Genius' late founder
and is the previous CEO.
What?
He's Genius' majority shareholder.
Do you know how much his shares are worth?
So you're basically seducing him for money?
Say you're relieved he's not a lowly part-timer.
Inu!
If you're not going to help me,
don't chew me out at least.
And stop coming to the Center.
It's useless.
It's one thing after another and only getting worse.
Good grief.
Wow. You're working harder than when you were CEO.
What are you writing down so diligently?
Remedies to the problems found in test 1 are here.
And what's lacking in this can be found here.
Wow. They're complementary.
What do you think President Kim was banking on
to get into such a complicated project?
He's probably banking on ample funding.
Genius would've struck gold if you hadn't been
ousted and we'd continued the project.
We'd be one of the top 3 in the cosmetics industry.
That was Chairwoman Gu's dream, right?
Mom's dream?
(Herb extraction method, patent acquired in 2006)
Why are you still up?
I couldn't sleep.
Can I have a shot too?
What?
Here.
Ms. Kim.
Why didn't you raise me?
Why'd you leave me in front of someone else's house?
You said I saved you.
Why'd you let go of the hands that propped you up?
I could've grown up thinking you were my mom.
I know all that you've done for me.
I know I shouldn't even think this,
but I feel you abandoned me,
which is unbearable.
At the time,
I could barely make enough for myself.
Regardless, I tried to raise you.
I figured I could do it
even if I would have to go without food.
But you were so sick.
I didn't have the means to care for you.
That's why...
I even thought of ending it for the both of us.
I was fine with dying myself,
but you...
I couldn't do that to you.
So the very best thing I could do at the time
was to send you to Changsu's family,
who'd been so nice to me and who wanted a child.
After I left you there, I visited often.
I knew how kind Changsu was,
but I worried his wife might mistreat you.
If she had, I was going to bring you back,
irrespective of how nice they'd been to me.
But you were thriving there.
And I could see that Changsu's wife loved you.
Eunjo, I never regretted
sending you to that family.
Ms. Kim.
I told you, right?
Your birth was a welcome blessing.
You are the Gils' daughter and mine as well.
Just don't forget that.
I won't get upset about this again.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
You're crying again.
Ms. Kim.
This one.
I'm sure of it. Am I right?
It's this one.
That can't be.
Are you sure?
You can tell just from the detailing here.
I don't think you're cut out for this.
You don't pick up on things quickly either.
What are you saying?
We're all allowed one mistake.
One mistake?
You've never gotten it right.
Hello.
Bogeum, I'm glad you're here.
Bogeum, look.
Which one's authentic and which one's fake?
I don't know anything about designer goods
nor am I interested.
But still, I'm sure you can see the difference.
Let's see.
This one's real.
How did you know?
The detailing on this looks nicer.
Was I wrong?
No. She's just embarrassed.
Oh...
- Hello. / - Hi.
Where to today?
Something came up at the hospice we planned to go.
I couldn't find an alternate destination,
so I came to ask you for advice.
Really?
Then have him clean the Center building,
every nook and cranny.
Oh. Then how many hours should that count for?
What hours?
He's sleeping at the cafe, right?
Then he needs to pay for that.
So forget community service today.
Have him work for his accommodation.
Oh, okay.
Brace yourself, Dr. Jeong.
No parent can't read her child like a book.
You're so devoted.
I thought so too,
but I'm not so sure anymore.
What is this? It doesn't look like any old ring.
This?
Did he propose to you?
Do you have a date set for your wedding?
We already had a simple ceremony.
What?
So you've moved in with him?
But I didn't see you move out of your place.
We had the wedding first.
I'll throw a housewarming party when I move,
so please come then.
Oh, right. Jeongsuk, are you free today?
As you can see, I'm busy.
Oh, come on. I want you to come with me.
And you can do some advanced research.
Where?
I want to decorate my marital bedroom.
You're a smart, sensible shopper.
Please? You're coming, okay?
Is she oblivious or just shameless?
I'm in no mood to shop for her marital chamber.
Geez.
Is President Kim's camp quiet?
They haven't made any moves.
They're probably strategizing.
For what?
How to take advantage of Hong Seokpyo's
dramatic reveal
as things could backfire if they're not careful.
The folks there sure like to talk.
That's their weakness.
Apart from President Kim, they're not that smart.
That's probably why they recruited Counsel Byeon.
He's very good at weaseling himself out of trouble.
So we should put together a team...
You just stop Byeon Busik.
That's all we need.
How can I stop him?
And why do you keep alienating me?
Speaking of which,
what was Ms. Kim's proposal?
Ms. Kim's proposal?
Like I said, just stop Byeon Busik.
Should I repeat myself?
Seokpyo.
I'm sure you'll run into him a lot.
You'll know what he's plotting if you study him.
I'll take care of everything else.
Harder. Put your back into it.
Water alone won't clean the floor.
Geez. Make it count. Make it count.
Not just here. Mop the corners over there too.
Put your back into it.
Don't give me that look.
Did I say something I shouldn't have?
No.
Excuse me. Please get out of the way.
Ms. Gil Eunjo. When did you know?
Did you know before you started dating or after?
Know what?
About Hong Seok, I mean, President Hong.
Oh, I don't know.
Good grief. She's as happy as can be.
I'm so envious.
Good heavens.
So does that mean Gil Eunjo's with President Hong?
Why did you sneak up on me?
I've seen them hanging out often,
but are they a couple?
They're so madly in love that it's annoying.
She's a real-life Cinderella.
What?
Does Inu know what she's getting herself into?
It came out even prettier than I expected.
The initials look good too.
What's that?
Oh. A design for a cosmetics container.
The art academy said they'd faxed it
and got confirmation of receipt, but it went missing,
so I went to pick it up in person.
Plus, the fax would've been in black and white.
Oh, I see.
Who are you going to show it to?
Mr. Hong Seok...
Oh... It's a force of habit.
To Mr. Hong Seokpyo.
Hi, Min Yang. What is it?
Again?
I don't have the time to go there.
Aunt Eunjeong still can't tell them apart?
Seokpyo definitely has something up his sleeve.
That means I must make a move too.
But that's not what Seokpyo likes.
However, I can't let them get the better of us.
There's a problem at the production line.
They say the cream began rotting within 2 days.
Yes.
I'll call again once I find out more.
Did I keep you from saying what you wanted?
If you know that, stop coming here.
Call me if you need me.
You sure have your guard up.
Are things not going well?
What are you here to find out?
Derma products are made of fresh herbs,
so they rot easily.
And you can't use preservatives in something
meant to treat skin conditions.
So?
President Hong has a weapon to perfect the product.
Chairwoman Gu's patent?
Despite the patent, didn't her product fail?
That's what I thought.
Do you think President Hong's been idling?
He had to have found a remedy.
Why are you telling me this?
Do you want to become the CEO this time?
Perhaps.
What is it? A trap?
Or bait?
In any case, I must track Hong Seokpyo for a while.
Are you looking for something?
The drawing.
The drawing of the container design.
Drawing of the container design?
The one we looked at together?
Why?
It disappeared while I was on the phone.
Oh. You were here when I left to take a call, right?
I left right after you did.
Look harder.
It's not here.
Do you really not know?
I don't as I left right after you did.
And I have no idea what that was for,
so what could I have done with it?
You have the habit of doubting people.
I know you hate me, but this wasn't called for.
What did I say that you're being like this?
Fine. This is all because I'm insecure.
I'm sorry I failed to keep your thing safe.
That's not what I meant.
What's the matter?
It's all my fault.
I'll see if it got stuck in a random file.
What did you lose?
A drawing of a cosmetics container I designed.
I'd come up with it for the derma product.
If you can't find it, you can draw another one.
What's wrong with Inu?
Inu?
You must've grown close while I was on leave.
She's a coworker.
And she's trying the best she can.
What is it, Mr. Lee?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Really?
Which factory?
Email it to me.
I'll print it in the director's office.
Ms. Gil, a major issue might be resolved.
I'll call you.
It's bothering me the more I think about it.
Inu?
Darn it.
I mopped this morning, so why is it dirty already?
Excuse me.
When you were cleaning the Center,
did you see a piece of paper with a drawing on it?
Drawing of what?
A cosmetics container
that looks a jewelry box.
That was at the Center?
Never mind.
Why is she looking for it?
Could it be important?
Over there.
It's a one-stop showroom for newlyweds' home decor.
Isn't it nice just to see?
It is.
Seeing all this
makes me want to properly redecorate our place.
Hello.
You can see everything, from doors to kitchens.
I'm thinking of just doing the kitchen.
Oh. The kitchens are here.
This way.
Wow. It's so pretty.
Oh, wow.
I don't know how this would look in our house.
We can re-scale it for the size of your house
and show you a virtual plan.
Really?
Would you come this way?
Thank you.
It's nice, but it's a pie in the sky.
Your girls will have to get married.
Start your research early.
This works well for a newlyweds' home.
I know.
I really like it,
but I'll go home and ask my husband.
Oh, wow. What's that? Hang on.
Oh, my.
Is she rubbing salt in my wound?
And why did I come with her?
This is maddening.
I can see now why Jeongsuk's worried.
What is this that Inu would do this?
Why?
Why? That's what I want to ask you.
Why did you do this?
Do what?
How did you get your hands on this?
I pieced together the ripped up pieces you tossed
in another building's restroom.
Tell me what this is about.
It's no big deal.
So tell me what this no-big-deal thing is.
It's nothing.
It's like a doodle.
But the owner is looking for it.
So doesn't that mean this is important to her?
I did it to spite Gil Eunjo.
I was angry she always has a leg up on me.
Stop it and give it back to her.
Apologize and say
you briefly lost your temper.
No. I can't do that.
Why not?
This may be a simple drawing,
but something very important depends on it.
So please don't say anything.
Is it because of Hong Seokpyo?
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
I learned all this from you.
What?
"If you want something,
do whatever it takes to make it yours."
Isn't that it?
So does it look like I'm doing well for myself?
That's because you messed up.
But I won't.
I know I can do it.
So please just don't say anything.
Inu.
If you tell Gil Eunjo about this,
it'll be over for me.
So do what you will.
Inu. Jeong Inu.
You get rid of this.
I threw it out.
You retrieved it,
so you get rid of it.
What's that?
